    What you will learn

    You will learn to plan and run search-engine-optimised content, structure and manage ad campaigns, build social media and email strategies, and measure everything with web analytics so decisions are driven by data rather than guesswork.

    Who it is designed for

    Students and graduates starting a marketing career, working professionals adding digital skills, business owners who want to run their own marketing, and career switchers moving into a growth field.
